[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 929548, member: 1441"] This might start a fire, but I've had it on my mind for years now and want to put it out there... I have a lot of scopes in my safe, both hunting and tactical. From S&B PMII to NF NXS and Leopold Mk 4, Vortex, Swaro and Zeis, Nikon and (the old) Tascos. About 30 in total. I am debating over a Kahles k624i or Steiner Military for my next purchase. I feel like I can say I have been amoungst enough of them, in the field, long enough to be able to comment. Amongst all the high end scopes, I just can't see how the Leupolds have a reputation for belonging with them. Of all of them, Leupold have the narrowest FOV, darkest, most critical in eye relief and eye box. Sure the clicks are reperatable, but so are all the Others. Customer service, again, all pretty good. I thought that maybe since the Lepuolds I had owned weren't from the revered Mark 4 series that I was not getting the full experience. Then I ordered an ER/T M5 6.5-20x50. It's nice. But the surprising thing is that my first Vortex, a HS-T, has nothing to envy over it, especially at one third the price. So am I the only one who has trouble appreciating the Leupolds? They are lightweight, they have a legendary customser serivce, but only if you live in the US, and do fill a bit of a price gap between the true high end scopes and the budget stuff, but I fail to see how anyone can lop them in with the true high end scopes out there today.
